Be warned, the South African Police Service & Traffic Departments will be imposing strict enforcement of the Road Traffic Act over the Buff weekend.

Please No revving in the early hours. Have some consideration for the Residents in the area.

Please don’t spoil it for us all.

We want the Buff to be a fun and enjoyable event for us as well as the residents of Hartenbos and, most importantly, we would like to return the following year. We can only achieve this with your co-operation.

The Campsite

Please bring tents, as no covered accommodation is available. If you prefer B&B or Hotel accommodation, please contact the Mossel Bay Tourism on (044) 691-2202. Facilities within the resort over the weekend will include food and trinket stalls, bar, clean ablutions with hot water and more.

Demarcating of Camping Areas will NOT be allowed

Because the camping spots at the Campsite are "prime estate". Regrettably, the practice of early arrivals cordoning off large areas to "reserve" it for their buddies CANNOT and WILL NOT be allowed. Large amounts of space are being wasted or not being utilised because of this practice and it is unfair to those motorcyclists who have travelled far distances on their bikes, only to find that there are lots of spots that they would like to camp, but that they have been "reserved". If you would like to camp together as a club or as a group, then arrive together as a club or group!

ARRANGEMENT FOR OFF-LOADING KIT

PLEASE NOTE: ONLY CLUB Back-up vehicles will be allowed on-site to off-load, subject to payment of R1,000 deposit, which is refundable on exiting within the allotted 30 minutes allowed to off-load. Vehicles with trailers will be subject to an additional deposit of R400. A payment of R400 if you want to keep the Trailer on site.

Be aware, there is very little parking available for Cars & trailers near the site. We suggest you make alternative arrangements to park your vehicles.

Join us for a weekend of great fun!!!
